Digital BW, The Print

At least with the 4800 it depends on the paper.  Eboni is slightly weaker on
Epson Archival Matte but is significantly better on thicker fine art papers.
I am going to run Eboni instead of Epson MK in my 4800 once it is all
settled in.  As for Clayton's other comments, I would simply say that one
should print step wedges/images and look at them side by side.  In my
opinion, the black only images are "rough" and "crude" by comparison to the
Epson ABW prints or QTR prints using the full K3.  Each to their own.
